One more step towards healing and music - music of beautiful past memories, of nature, of mountains, of rivers , of flowers. My visit to Kashmir has healed something and also created a fresh yearning...a desire for restoration of beauty, love and peace.

DEEP SHADOWS

The shadows grow longer
of the claws of despair
taking roots, digging deep
like the lost smile of a beloved

welcoming the twilight
the soothing comfortable night
hiding the pain in its darkness
camouflaging the fake light

notwithstanding the immenseness
of the majestic unwavering heights
the easy vacillation of form and content
conspiring with the light, beguiling the senses
to deaden the sound of truth
extending deep into the night…….
